Re: charvel 6224 has arrived

Which type of neck plate does it have 3D or stamped?

Nice! How's the neck?

Re: charvel 6224 has arrived

That's really nice. I played two of that style at the Music Zoo in NYC. They are like those 80's Japaneese model series. I wish the neck profile was more similar to the EVH or 25th Anniv. Did you find that the string tuning posts on the headstock to be long?

Re: charvel 6224 has arrived

The ones in NYC don't have 3-D neckplates either. To date I haven't seen one with a 3-D plate yet. Has anyone?

Re: charvel 6224 has arrived

the v trem won't stay in tune, but that's okay cause i didn't expect it to. i like the way it looks. it has a stamped neck plate, not 3D. the neck is sweet. thin and fast. this guitar plays WAY better than my Jacksons!! it's funny that the model series guitars were mentioned. i brought it home and my wife said "don't you have that guitar already?" in reference to a white model 1 that i used to have. it really isn't that different from a model 1. the neck is a little better and the logo is gold, but otherwise...i'm not sure how "san dimas" this guitar really is because i've never played a real san dimas. but on its face value it does kick ass...but not $1400 kick ass. maybe $1000 worth of kick ass-ness.

Re: charvel 6224 has arrived

Good one. Too bad about the tuning issue. Maybe it just needs a pro set up (or do you yank on the bar like there is not tomorrow! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: charvel 6224 has arrived

actually i think the strings haven't settled. we're talking straight out of the box. they still stretch pretty bad. but no, my vintage trem technique is not as wild as my floyd technique!!

Re: charvel 6224 has arrived

My new Charvel 6055 (NAMM HRF) holds tune pretty well. I don't over abuse the trem obviously but I do play "Wicked Game" type trem technique and she holds tune.
